Monitoring patients with monoclonal gammopathies
This test is not recommended to screen or establish a first-time diagnosis for a monoclonal gammopathy
Test ID | Reporting Name | Available Separately | Always Performed |

TPE | Total Protein | Yes, (Order TP) | Yes |
SPE | Protein Electrophoresis | No | Yes |

IMFX | Immunofixation | Yes, (Order IMFXO) | No |
MPTS | M-protein Isotype MALDI-TOF MS, S | Yes, (Order MALDO) | No |
This test includes total protein and serum protein electrophoresis.
If a discrete electrophoresis band is not identified, the laboratory will evaluate the serum protein electrophoresis and, if necessary, perform M-protein isotype at an additional charge.
If a light chain is identified without a corresponding heavy chain during initial testing, immunofixation with IgD and IgE antisera will be performed at an additional charge.
If a history of an IgD or IgE has been previously established and no M-spike is seen on electrophoresis, immunofixation with IgD and IgE antisera will be performed at an additional charge.
TPE: Biuret
SPE: Agarose Gel Electrophoresis
MPTS: Matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization-time of flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF MS)
